Blackwing filter air intake . . .does it need oiling?
Hi everyone,
I've got a used blackwing air filter. I just cleaned it, and it's drying now (for a few days). Before it goes on a car, does it need to be reoiled? If so, what kind of oil and where does one purchase this oil?
Thanks,
Josh

It's a similar kit to the K&N, but different stuff. Can't interchange them...

According to the users manual that came with mine it says to clean and re-oil every 50,000 miles under "normal" driving conditions. Dusty conditions require more frequent servicing.
And you can't use an old left over K&N cleaning kit.

Yes, it does need reoiling. You can probably get a kit from Xtreme Motorsports or Corvette Garage.
